"For the Tenth Anniversary of Last Night on Earth, we are releasing a limited Deluxe Edition of the original game including the classic cast of 8 heroes, as well as new playable Hero versions of 4 of the original Townsfolk, a plastic Old Truck to escape in, plastic pieces for several of the markers, some new Scenarios and Cards, rules for Fire and the Experience System - first introduced in Timber Peak, and a brand new Last Night on Earth Rulebook, collecting 10 years of survival horror! Both this deluxe edition of Last Night on Earth and the new 'Hero Pack Two' expansion will be out this Fall!"

I have most of the expansions for this (minus Timber Peak), and can't see me rebuying the core set just to get 4 new heroes. I already own 18 heroes, and Hero Pack 2 will bring that total to 22 if I buy it. Since I normally only bring out LNoE when there are exactly five of us to play, I would be dealing 5 out to each hero player to choose from. That already seems like too many.

I just hope they make Rulebook 2.0 available to print/download on their website. An update pack would be great, but I read they have no plans to release one.

I am happy and relieved to see that the Frog is beginning to produce something other than Brimstone-related titles. Don't get me wrong, I like Brimstone, but I am a much greater fan of their earlier titles like A Touch of Evil, Last Night of Earth, and Fortune and Glory. I was a little disappointed when, after a more than two-year drought, they announced Forbidden Fortress (another Brimstone product) without first issuing something for their earlier titles. Surely there was more Brimstone material at that point than the market was able to realistically digest. I realize that there is economics involved, but surely there is sufficient support to both promote Brimstone AND offer expansions for the titles I listed previously.

This boxed set will include eight heroes, including new playable versions of the original Townsfolk, along with a plastic Old Truck model, plastic pieces for several of the game markers, new scenarios, and an updated and expanded rulebook that includes rules for fire and the experience system introduced in the Timber Peak expansion. MSRP is $99.95.

I'm not really upset by this move. I'm clearly not the target audience for the Anniversary Edition since I have everything else. I already have Timber Peak, so I have the fire and experience rules. Don't really need a plastic truck or plastic marker bits. This just seems like a good way to get new players in the game without making me feel like I need to buy it just to get one or two new things.

I'm glad that Flying Frog are continuing to support good old LNoE, but on the other hand, I already feel like I have enough stuff for this game - and I don't even have Survival of the Fittest or any of the Timber Peak material!
